What It Means to Be Certified Marion General Hospital’s medical oncologists and radiation oncologists are board-certified in their specialties. Why is this important to you? • It validates their knowledge, skills and expertise in their particular medical specialty. • It shows their dedication to education and staying abreast of the latest medical developments and advances in their field. • It measures their commitment to providing superior care and results. RadIatIon What it is: The use of high-energy X-rays to shrink or kill cancer cells. When it’s used: To treat localized cancers, or those that have not spread. In some cancers, radiation may be the only treatment necessary. In others, radiation is used to shrink the tumor before surgery or to prevent it from coming back after surgery. Where you can find the best care near you: Progressive Cancer Care provides radiation oncology services with physicians from Indiana Radiotherapy PC. The center is equipped with a Varian Clinac iX linear accelerator that offers intensity-modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, one of the most precise forms of external beam radiation therapy available. With IMRT, the radiation is effectively broken into thousands of beams, rather than having a single large radiation beam pass through the body. IMRT provides increased accuracy, minimizing harm to surrounding tissues. “That’s the technical aspect of what we do, but more important is the human factor,” says Steve Mughmaw, executive director of Progressive Cancer Care. “We make every effort to provide a caring atmosphere for our patients while providing them with care above and beyond what they would normally expect.” PCC Radiation Oncology carefully treats more than 225 new patients each year. Although the center is equipped to treat a wide range of cancers, the focus is on the two primary cancers in the area: prostate and breast.
